Baby in Utah Part I

We have been having so much fun in Utah so far! Last Friday my parents flew in to PDX and the babe and I went and picked them up! She has been in my parent's arms practically the entire time!

We went out to eat a lot, these two pictures of Em were taken at our favorite Indian place in the Couv called Namaste. It is so amazing and we love going there every time my mom is in town!

 

 

Mom and I went and got our hair cut at 22 changes. It was the longest I have ever been away from the baby and I didn't even go mental, like I thought I would. We were gone for 3 hours and it felt nice to pamper ourselves. We got Starbucks, hair cuts, blow outs, and we did a little shopping for the baby. I felt like a new woman! Our new cuts:

After a few days, it was time to hit the road and start our journey! I was pretty sad to say goodbye to Hy for a week and a half. But I think he was even more sad to say goodbye to that sweet girl of ours. The first day we drove to Boise and stayed at a hotel, which was a total blast. Here is Em getting a bath from her grandma in the hotel bathtub... she loved it!

This is Em lounging during our continental breakfast at the hotel. She is so well behaved whenever we go out to eat, and I really hope that it stays that way!

This picture is probably one of my most favorite pictures I have ever taken of our baby! It is so over the top and just beyond stinking cute! I can't even hardly stand it and it makes me laugh every time I see it! Isn't she just fabulous?!

 

Out to eat once again...

 

 

 

The next day we drove to American Fork to see my grandma Zola! Not a lot of people know this but the last girl born into this side of our family (cousins and all) was ME! Almost 26 years ago! And before that was my aunt Jamie! Needless to say, we grow a lot of boys and rarely a girl! So finding out this baby was a girl from the only girl made my family really happy! My self included. This is my 82 year old grandma holding our 9 1/2 week old baby for the first time!!

It was an amazing thing to see, and it made me really proud of the work that Hy and I did to get pregnant and have this moment!

That night mom gave her a bath in the sink for the first time and it was so funny to see her hanging out of such a big sink. She is so long!

 

 

We took our four generations photo with before we headed south and it was really sweet!

 

After spending the night in AF we headed down to Cedar City to meet some more of our family!  To be continued...
